Description

[Yaniv Kaul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2

It started with 2.0b1, and I hoped it'd go away in 2.0b2 - but today I saw it didn't: When I try to create a bookmark, it creates an empty entry (no text).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks menu -> Bookmark this page
2. Give it a name (or use the suggested) and click OK.
3.

Actual Results:  
1. The dialog does not go away.
2. A bookmark with an empty name is created.

Expected Results:  
1. The dialog should disappear
2. A bookmark with the name should be created.

This sounds like corruption of localstore.rdf. Try these steps to fix it up, then report back.

Indeed, renaming localstore.rdf fixed the problem. Thanks!
